Poor @UConn07 he is heartbroken on twitter. @CTMike asked him the best question: Are you a UConn fan or are you a Diaco fan. I hope Diaco doesn't take the Ministry of Information with him to Bowling Green.

Now that we have a proof of life on @UConn07, has anyone seen @Confident Carl? I think this might be the moment we can finally get him to understand the difference between optimism and hope.

As most, I didn't see this happening because of the buyout and acknowledged long ago that Diaco got a break because of the contract extension.

I am always optimistic about the future regardless of circumstances. I am excited to see who becomes the next coach! I am happy that the administration found a way to change direction and that UCONN fans are excited again. I would also have been optimistic with the right OC but now see this was probably the best decision. Today's announcement let's the collegiate football world know that UCONN nation is serious about FBS football and also silences those marginal fans who have been promoting a drop to FCS football.

I thought Diaco might have had a chance with the right OC but am not at all disappointed by this announcement. Surprised Yes but disappointed No!

I am an optimistic person in all circumstances because I have the same faith that QB Derek Carr of the Oakland Raiders has. Here's what he told his fans after his season ending leg injury:

Thank you to everyone that has been praying for me! Things happen in life that we don’t always understand, BUT I do KNOW this: I serve a God that loves me and who is the ultimate healer!

I am not worried one bit. I will bounce back and be on my feet within no time! Thank you for all of the love that you, Raider Nation showed me in that stadium today. I will be back! This is a team sport! So everything WE want is still out there for us! See y’all soon! God bless and Merry Christmas!

The tweet included a reference to Old Testament scripture, specifically Joshua 1:9, which says: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

So you see Whaler, I really don't need a coaching change to give me a lesson in Hope!
My hope and optimism comes from the Christmas message and is all the hope Any of us will ever need!

Yep we gotta start trending up. 2 failed hires, 6 consecutive losing seasons, 1 bowl game appearance in that time, the worst PPG of any team in the COUNTRY the last 3 years.

The last thing I'm worried about is a coach having too much success and getting plucked.

I caught the last part of the Center Lane Bowl, with BC, and it's offensive coordinator Paul Pasquolini. Had to laugh at that one. two 6-6 teams in a bowl game, Maryland and Boston College. BC ends 7-6, while Maryland ends 6-7. You can't make this up.

You are surprised by two 6-6 teams playing in a bowl game? There are like 75,000 games I'm surprised when a team doesn't play in one. As a matter of fact multiple teams with 5-7 records are competing, so these two were practically playing The Rose Bowl. As for Pasqualoni he's their DL Coach, and was one of the BC Coaches who actually earned his money this year as they were near the top of The FBS in Sacks. I think they had 8 yesterday alone.
 
Army beat North Texas in the bowl game today and North Texas ended the year at 5-8...... The bowl system in a joke.

That's the only possible timing.

Agree - I just did not want people to just lock into 1/3 - you know how some people are. It could be a couple days later - the contract needs approval etc. Don't forget the Head Coach will need to hire assistants and get at least some up and running by 1/11. All doable but it's going to be a crazy pace.
